Ip ever there was a decisive .victory | for any distinct policy it is that of I Grow Cleveland, the Democrat, as versus Bpoj-'tnin—Hirriiion, the jßepublican ;^that oft ITrAfrade as versus Protection, 1 m lately recorded y in America: It is a- victory as-munh for the-outer -world I—for England and; her Coloniod—as for the people of United States, opening, as it doe«, the doors of• an'immense- market; hitherto 1 shut ulose, to the products and manufactures, of the outside .world. Had' the victory heen "for the* Protectionist 1 no one would have rejoiced, excepting i that class of Trhich " Trumphant Democracy" Carnpgie (who, bye the way contributed £75000, towircU the Protectionist candidature} and the great '• corner men" and Plutocrats of America- are members. Even Pro-J tectionists outside America could notj .Have rejoiced, as-every Protec'ionistis 1 necessarily the enemy of every other i Protectionist. But on the other hind i every Freetrader i* the brother of' every other Freetrader, and' Freetraders all the w«>rld over must feel glad in heart, as they will Bye and bye do in pocket, at this—the greatest vie tory siuc* thf» time of Oobden. It ennnot be said that Protection—the Gospel according to M »jor McKinl^y— did' not hay« a> fair trial in America. Tudeedit h<id too-Ion•» a trial, as the terrible scenes in Pfrtsbursr, and elsewhere) in A-?nerioa, too plainly show-^ scenes where the robbery by -arrogant plutocracy of helpless ground' down labour become terribly Hpparent — scenes amid which there came forth a hand which wrote ml letters of bio id upon the walL of every labourer's hovel; upon the frescjes of even? millionaire's palace ; upon the sides of every silent factory, >nd, over the throne of the President of the Unired of America at the Washington | Canitol. " Menb MfeNß Ivkkl Uphahbin." - Millions-of__inds waved tiiumphantly in the air and millions of throats clanged again froov Atlantic to Pacific when the huted, r julsivq, unnatural and barbaric policy went under, "Thou art weighed" in the 1 bal'inoen and founa w mingy" I A feeling of self-oortgrat" 1 ition most icf>me ovsr us Sou'heners when we read that the Australian ballot system 1 was at this election ,used for the first time in America, and to suoh; good effect. Eor the first, tinn in the hiatory of Ameiican elections- has the working mm been enabled to vote in Becre t —to vote with bis opinion, without the stern eye and direr>tin* iinfluence of hia boss at hand. Long may Grover Cleveland reign! More and more may Freetrade spread ; may fher war dium .of internecine tariff.! battling soon cease,to'throb altogether ; | m<iy> 'man to man, nation to nation^
